Improving JBoss 5 slow startup

Question

We upgraded from JBoss 4 (and JDK 5) to JBoss 5 (and JDK 6). The problem is that the start time has gone from 1.5 minutes (on JBoss 4) to more than 4 minutes.

Answer 1

I had an issue like this but I found a good improvement by setting the initial and max heap size to same values, I mean:

 -Xms512m -Xmx512m

With this, I improved from 4 to 2 minutes the starting time.
